I am picking up at Mechanixsburg, PA , tue at noon......they want 24 hrs notice...I didn't get home untill 345 pm and i called...only got machine and i left a message....i want to leave at 6 am to get there at 12. they did not call back today. do i have a problem?? Is anyone familiar with the place or people. I'm afraid they will call my cell when i am on the way and say forget it. I don't think anyone is there untill after 7ish am???????????????????
I would be calling at 7:00 AM before you drive too far. I have no experience with this location. Some would be OK with it and others would not. Be sure you have your paid reciept handy when you call, they may ask you about some numbers on it to be sure your EUC went thru.
I went from St Louis to Mechanicsburg to pick up my truck , I was late but called inrout , they were pretty nice there. I was just upset that they move thr trucks with a fork lift...... I was driving it back to Mo. Call early and GL
The call to Mechanicsburg is so they can add your name to the list at the gate of approved folks to enter the base. I've been there twice. Each time the folks at the gate have a list of who is supposed to be coming in that day. If you are not on the list, they have to confirm with GL before you can enter. Make sure you have current registration and insurance info on your vehicle. They will make a temporary photo id for each person in your party. Once you get on the base, go straight down the road to where there used to be a building (big empty lot on the right), turn right at the street after that lot and back up to one of the two entrances to the building on your left - unless they have had to move out of that warehouse under the new contract.
